The Care Free

®

Humidifier Plus Evaporative

Humidier has a unique patented design with

several innovative features:

• LowMaintenance – Other humidiers have

paper lters that need to be replaced every

few months. Our exclusive PermaWick™ lter

saves time and money. It’s designed to last

season after season, saving up to $45 a year.

No wet paper odors either.

 • RegulatedRelease™System – By dispersing

water from the top of the PermaWick™ lter,

stagnant water around the PermaWick™ lter

is eliminated, and the buildup of mineral

residue that can clog the lter and impede

performance is eliminated. NOTE: The lter

has a coating on the wick which may make it

appear old or used, but is actually new.

• Built-inAntimicrobialProperties – The plastic

parts and the PermaWick™ lter have built-in

antimicrobial properties to inhibit the growth

of bacteria, mold and fungi that may aect

these parts.

NOTE: This product contains antimicrobial

properties which are built-in to inhibit the

growth of bacteria which may aect the plas-

tic and PermaWick™ lter in the humidier.

These properties do not extend to the water,

humidified air or users. Conduct routine

cleaning and maintenance based upon use

and individual conditions.

• NoWhite Dust – The Care Free

®

Humidi-

er Plus Evaporative Humidier produces no

white dust that can settle on furniture or be

inhaled.

Many regions have hard water with high

concentrations of minerals. When water

evaporates from The Care Free

®

Humidier Plus

Evaporative Humidifier, minerals may be left

behind. These minerals can form a hard white

scale which can be removed by following the

cleaning instructions. The frequency of cleaning

due to mineral build up can vary depending

upon the quality of water you may have.

Refer to Figure 1 for part names.

The motor is attached to the main housing.

Do not place the motor near water. Do not

use a wet towel on the motor or motor hous-

a vinegar and water solution to remove any

mineral buildup. Place in a solution of one

(1) gallon of water and eight (8) ounces of

undiluted white vinegar. Allow the lter to

soak for 20 minutes.
